TCAN1162EVM: TCAN1162 EVM TXD mode debugging

Part Number: TCAN1162EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TCAN11623-Q1, TCAN1162-Q1, TCAN11625-Q1

Hi Team,

Hope you are doing well!!

In recent times, we had bought the TCAN1162 Evaluation module CAN Transceiver for testing purpose. To implement, the same Transceiver in the upcoming pipeline projects. While testing, we came across the below observations,  please check and confirm whether we are proceeding with the correct manner. Let us know, if we need to change anything

Working Mode: V-BAT supply voltage from the external supply-12V

                          VIO taken from the internal logic at 3V3 level by connecting the jumper J8 across the VIO and LDO3

Jumper Connections:

J6 placed in their position.--Fault indication LED

J9 placed in their position.--Pull up for sleep mode

J12 removed and we placed 120E externally at the receiver node at the cable

J15 is in their position-Connecting 121E across the CAN_H and CAN_L.

J14 is in their position-- INH Pin connection

Case1: We tried to communicate it through external interface and we are clearly observing the RXD pulse at the RXD Pin for the equivalent CAN_H and CAN_L

Case2: We are driving from external uC at the TXD pin(3V3 logic level) of the CAN Transceiver and we are not getting the proper response at the CAN_H and CAN_L.

We are trying to debug the same to ensure proper communication at the CAN Transceiver. So, I request you to help us on solving this issues.

Thanks & Regards

  • Shunmuganathan,

    Have you left the default device, the TCAN1162-Q1, populated on the EVM? If so, your VIO pin is not supplied. LDO3 is only present is TCAN11623-Q1 has been populated on the EVM. The schematic is marked as such because TCAN1162-Q1, TCAN11623-Q1, and TCAN11625-Q1 can all work on the same board. So, if VIO is not supplied, then your device is in Sleep mode, and what you're seeing on the RXD pin when driving the CAN bus is the transceiver's response to a WUP.

    Please supply VIO with an external 3.3V supply, and the EVM and device should work correctly.

    Regards,
